The Coming Apocalypse Must be Stopped Only
Unity and Non-Recognition of Oslo Will Save Israel

By Bernard J. Shapiro

Israel and the Jewish people have faced many challenges in the past. They
have survived them all, bloody but unbent. In the coming months, we will face
our greatest challenge and potentially could suffer our greatest defeat. I have
just read the brilliant analysis of the Oslo B Agreement by Elyakim Ha'etzni.
The Freeman Center has published a special 24 page edition for its members.
[If you would like a copy, please call our office.] This infamous agreement
does nothing less than establish a Palestinian State and lay the groundwork
for the inevitable destruction of the State of Israel.

The present extremist Israeli government has become a master at deception,
misinformation, lies and cover-ups. The details (the devil is in the details)
have been kept from the Israeli electorate as well as Jewish communities in
the Diaspora. Bit by bit the truth is coming out -- and it is ugly and perverse.
Ha'etzni has done a great service by bringing to light the immense harm this
government has done to Israel and the Jewish people.

Those of us, who value Zionism, and care about the future and security of
Israel and the Jewish people must face the great challenge before us with
fortitude and vigor. We have very little time and much needs to be done. First,
all members of the pro-security/Zionist/Religious parties in Israel must agree
on two principles: (1) Unity and (2) Non-recognition of any of the Oslo
Agreements.

This is all the more urgent because some of these parties have been flirting
with recognition of the Palestinian Authority (State). THIS MUST STOP. It is a
well recognized principal of law that agreements must be kept by both parties
or they are null and void. There has been no acceptance or performance of
Oslo obligations by the PA. Only Israel has fulfilled its commitments. There is
no reason for a new government to continue to carry out one-sided
arrangements. Even if the PA fulfilled his commitments perfectly, there would
be reasons to reject its validity on the grounds that no nation is obligated to
orchestrate its own destruction.

This does not mean an immediate return to the status quo ante. PLO terrorist
Yasir Arafat is fond of his "stages plan" for the destruction of Israel and its
replacement with Palestine.The Freeman Center has its own staged plan for
the salvation of Israel, and a guarantee of security and freedom for its Jewish
citizens. This plan follows victory of the Zionist camp:

Repeal and void all Oslo related agreements

Disarm all PLO/Hamas terrorist police and gangs

Arrest all terrorists freed for political reasons

Free all Jews who were jailed for political reasons

Arrest and try any terrorist leader (including Arafat) who has escaped
punishment

Annex all public land and Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and
Gaza and the roads connecting them to each other.

Assume control of all Jewish Holy Places including the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem

Begin massive building including the "right of eminent domain" to develop
YESHA

Change rules of engagement to reflect zero tolerance for violence against
Jews

Try Israelis guilty of collaborating with the enemy

Expel any and all Arabs who threaten the safety of the Jewish community

No immediate re-entry into large Arab cities, except for hot pursuit and to
root out terrorist bases

This is just the beginning of the plan to reclaim Jewish rights in Eretz Yisrael.
In three years the extremist Labor/Meretz government has done so much
damage that it will take time to undo it. The first step must be UNITY. Then we
can begin the recovery plan. I am quite certain that the UN, the US and most
of the world will object to our plan. I believe that we should listen to them with
the same degree as they listened to our cries for help during World War II.
